Appraisal
A mid nineteenth-century house, distinguished by neat proportions and gauged brick detailing that are typical of the period. Although some alterations have taken place, the building retains pleasing characteristics and is an important part of the social fabric of Chapelizod village. It terminates an eclectic terrace of nineteenth and twentieth-century residential and commercial buildings contributing to the eclectic character that is central to the architectural character and streetscape of Chapelizod.
